change the tax code so that investment income is taxed at the same rate as wage income.

Created by M.D. on September 25, 2011

When people hold jobs and make investments, the compensation they receive goes into a bank account. The bank does not distinguish between dollars received as wages and dollars received as investment income. When people spend their money, they do not treat money from wages differently than money from investment income. It is unfair that investment income is taxed at a lower rate than human labor.
